Cinobufotalin inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma by triggering NOX4/NLRP3/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of programmed cell death that plays a significant role in tumorigenesis. Cinobufotalin (CB), a bufadienolide extracted from toad venom, is associated with antitumor effects in various cancers, including liver cancer. However, the role of CB in pyroptosis and its underlying mechanisms have not been well characterized. Methods: MTT, Colony formation, EdU, Wound healing and Transwell migration and invasion assays were applied to determine the effects of CB on the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells Results: Discussion: Our study demonstrated that CB suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of HCC cells by inducing pyroptosis through the activation of the NOX4/NLRP3/GSDMD signaling pathway. Therefore, our results suggest that CB is a promising therapeutic agent for HCC.
